I have made a separate thread for that, because this one is pretty clogged: https://wildfact.com/forum/topic-asiatic-lions-outside-india?pid=118885#pid118885

Instead of round saucers & rectangular troughs, they decided to make a more multifaceted shape.

- Population of the Asiatic Lion, living in Gujarat’s Greater Gir landscape, is up by atleast 30%.
- Geographically, distribution area is up by atleast 35%.

The department carried out a population estimation exercise on the night of June 5 & 6 this year when there was full moon. The exercise was undertaken as the five yearly census could not be carried out in May due to the coronavirus outbreak and lockdown. Earlier the Gujarat FD clarified that this was meant to be more of a population health observation than a proper census
This 1st of its kind lite version of Lion Census, was called "Poonam Avlokan" or full-moon night estimation exercise. The lion territory in Saurashtra has registered an increase of from 22,500 km² in last census of 2015 to more than 30,000 km² now... Of that an area of ±13,000 km² around Gir form the core lion kingdom, where they are regularly sighted.
The officially released figure is of atleast 675 confirmed individuals (161 males, 260 females, 116 sub-adult lions & 137 cubs). The latest figure however, does not include many animals like lionesses with cubs who usually go into hiding, due to the scale & haste. Each beat guard will have to cover an area of about 100 sq.km, which is a huge challenge.
Maximum limit could be as high as 750.
Junagadh range Chief Conservator of Forest D T Vasavada had said that the estimation exercise was not a complete census.
"Lion census is carried out every five years in an extensive manner. Large number of central and state government officials, wildlife lovers, NGOs and members of National Board of Wildlife are involved in it. But due to lockdown we cannot call them now and a full-fledged census cannot be carried out."
He couldn't provide any confirmation on wheather more extensive census will be carried out later on.

The Indian lion went extinct because it was shot more easily than tigers.
"They seem to have been more easily shot than tigers, as they returned more boldly to their " kills," thus becoming an easy prey to the Bhil Shikari who sat up for them."

The Indian lion during the 18 and 1900s experienced serious pressure from hunters. Some cases, just one man killed more than 100 lions. Here are some of those records
A man called George Acland Smith killed 300 lions. Three hundred lions killed by just one man, only one.

When only four men could kill 564 lions by themselves, it does not seem that the Asian lion was a rare animal. Due to this extreme hunting pressure, the lion almost went extinct. Thankfully the Gujarati government has saved them and their numbers are now growing rapidly.

Sandeep Parmar: " Gir at a glance✨? The growth in the population of Asiatic lions is indeed one of the fewer good news of 2020. The credit goes to the FD and locals of Gir region for the meticulous efforts for conservation of the endangered Asiatic Lions! "
RE: Asiatic Lion - Data, Pictures & Videos - Spalea - 06-11-2020
Sandeep Parmar: " Two very good news:
Population of the majestic Asiatic Lion, living in Gujarat’s Gir Forest, is up by almost 29%. Geographically, distribution area is up by 36%. Total count : 674 Lions (Including male, female, sub-adults and cubs)"

Why are you attacking me then? Do I attack your posts? Anway why are you ignoring the other sources?
RE: Asiatic Lion - Data, Pictures & Videos - Ashutosh - 06-11-2020
How can someone living in 800AD report on interaction between Asiatic Elephants and Asiatic lions when the Syrian Elephant went extinct in 700BC?!?!
They didn’t even share the same habitat for the most part. Syrian elephants were only restricted to mangroves and the coast whereas the lions were more in dry part of the middle East.
RE: Asiatic Lion - Data, Pictures & Videos - Shadow - 06-11-2020
@Ingonyama6 If you want to use f-words to underline something, then do it somewhere else. When you write in wildfact keep it civilized. I took that off from one of your posting and I hope, that no need to do it again. Postings with sources are ok, also opinions, when those are clearly separated from facts and written in decent way.
What comes to some book with mentioning, that lion would be stronger than tiger, it´s good to remember, that those are always opinions of that certain writer, nothing more or less. This was a bit for you @Rage2277 (not a warning, just mentioning) but this is something, which is good for all to remember, here is no need to start again some endless debate about worn up issue. Some prefer tigers, some lions, it has been so in past and will be so in future too. If anyone has overwhelming need to try to win such endless debate, there are plenty of places to do so. Wildfact isn´t one of those places.
So let´s not make some random quote overly dramatic.
RE: Asiatic Lion - Data, Pictures & Videos - Shadow - 06-11-2020
@Ingonyama6 is now on permanent watchlist. Any posting you do, will be checked buy moderators before publishing. I or any moderator doesn´t have time to look after posters like you, who obviously want to create animosity. If you try to continue in such way, you will be banned. Up to you now if you want to post quality or not.

Yeah, I know and I wasn´t warning you. Still postings and.... "signs" started to go to the direction, that soon there would have been heat in the air... That´s why I intervened before things go too far to wrong direction.
Different people are free to believe whatever they want as long as they respect it, that others are free to believe otherwise, when issue is controversial. It happens to be the case with many things concerning lions and tigers.
